(ESPN) – NFL Nation reporters look ahead to what Tuesday has in store for each team.
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills: Veteran Dan Carpenter has been the NFL’s fifth-most-accurate field goal kicker since the start of the 2013 season, but he finds himself on the hot seat after missing three field goals and one extra point this preseason. The Bills worked out veteran Billy Cundiff on Monday, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, after coach Rex Ryan said Friday he wouldn’t “turn a blind eye” to Carpenter’s preseason struggles. The Bills will return to practice Tuesday, and it’s not clear who will be kicking when the team opens the season Sunday against the Colts. — Mike Rodak
Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins continue their preparation for the season opener. Key players such as left tackle Branden Albert (knee), cornerback Jamar Taylor (quad) and receiver DeVante Parker (foot) are practicing and continue to progress in hope of being ready for Sunday’s game against Washington. — James Walker
New England Patriots: With starting center Bryan Stork missing practice Sunday and Monday because of a concussion, it puts his availability for Thursday’s season opener in question. Will Stork be cleared for practice? And if not, how do the pieces fall into place on the offensive line? — Mike Reiss
